    Hi All! Mike from Middletown, DE, USA. I love to tinker and dabble with electronics of all shapes and sizes. We also homeschool our kids and I do as much as I can to expose them to STEAM activities through fun projects. The amount of knowledge, experience, and expertise in this community is completely mind-blowing! I've enjoyed X-Plane for a few years with very basic controls, but having been inspired by all of you, I think my next project with my kids is going to be building a 6DOF motion-sim platform to further expose them to all of the awesome engineering work this community has done, as well as the joys of motion sim! Thanks in advance for all of the lessons I'll be learning from your work!

    Welcome @Michael Lally.

    A 6DOF is an ambitious first project. So doing some research with the kids before getting in too deep is time well spent.

    You will find plenty of helpful information in the FAQs to get you started, in particular check out the design and 6DOF sections: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    You can go through existing member projects for specific ideas or inspiration, in particular have a good look at some of the most recent 6DOF builds, as they introduce some new refinements and hardware options: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Or search for specific types of projects using the Google Custom Search function on the Recent page: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/find-new/posts?recent=1

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    Hey guys Im working with the YawVr 3DOF chair and see that more plugins are offered here at this site so I decided to join. I have also been watching this site for about a year and didnt know if I should join but it seems this will be the best way to meet some sim chair users and share info on games and setup and things like that with like minded people.

    Hi!!!!
    My name is Chema and I am already enjoying a home simulator, although it is still in the testing phase.
    I want to thank this entire community for all the messages read, and for those that I will read in the future.
    I hope i can help someone with my interventions.

    Hello,

    My name is Thomas and I am a software programmer in real life.
    A while ago, I heard about YawVR and was immediately interested in it because I am a big fan of motion simulator rides. Now that my YawVR unit finally arrived, I plan to play a few racing games with it but also try to create my own programs or motion simulator rides for fun.

    Looking forward to be part of this community!

    Welcome @TheSchaf.

    You have come to the right place, members here are pretty active and in the main willingly share their expertise.

    We have a dedicate Commercial thread section for threads and questions relating to commercial rigs and peripherals, feel free to show off your YawVR rig there, plus pose any questions you may have: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/commercial-simulators-and-peripherie.52/

    If you are interested here is how to create plugins for SimTools: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...lugin-for-simtools-2-0-api-documentation.131/

    Enjoy your new rig.

    Hello everyone, my name is Denvor, I'm from Madagascar , I' m a sea man in real life. I started playing game racing since 2012 and I ve found it very fun. Two months ago I ve think that it is very interesting to move the seat, looks like in real race, so I decide to search how to do in the web, I think that this forum/ community is the good and right place.
    My project is a 2DOF for the begining (it will take a long time for me...), it is very huge difficult to find all necessary parts from here but the best thing is that I've just purchased an arduino uno yesterday.
    Many thanks in advance for all your efforts and future helps ,if needed later. Sorry for my bad English language and I try to to my best , particularly for the Forum's rules.

    Sincerely yours,
    Denvor Richard.
